When World War 1 started, in Eastern Anatolia, Armenians join Russia betraying Turkey and killed hundreds of thousand Turkish people. Later Turkey applied on them a forced migration and more than 400,000 Armenians emigrated to Syria, Lebanon and other countries however a portion of them stayed in Turkey. In World War 1, Armenian deads are counted less than from 300,000 but Turkey lost are above 3 000 000 people being the majority civilians. Total 518,000 Turks were killed by Armenian rebels (Hynchak and Tashnak gangs). In short, 1915 events were not genocide, this was a war and there was a reciprocal slaughter. In this article it is analyzed the escalation of the conflicts from an historical point of view, showing that the conflict of Armenian and Turks wasn't a genocide but a confrontation during a civil war.

Keywords : Armenian genocide; Armenian-Turk conflict.
